Imported Broadcloths for
Ladies' Costumes.
We filled a window with
them on Chestnut Street. A
big window but no two pieces
alike, and still scarcely half
the colorings we have-35
shades of the best broadcloths
we know of. All but three
IA heliotropes and a garnet)
are Nellessen's, 54 inches
wide, So; the ideal broadcloth.
No better for the name save
that it's guarantee. Antwerp
black silks have stood for 600
years as the best. Rivals
plenty but they couldn't get
to the top. So hundreds of
establishments make broad
cloths, but there's only one
Nellessen. Wouldn't be so if
the manufacturer let up in the
least: he doesn't Material
the best possible to begin
with. Not a scrimp anywhere.
The try is not to see how
cheap. but how good the
broadcloth can be made. Every
thought to that. Is there a
new loneliness in tint you may
see it first In a Nellessen,
surely with the first. A grand
broadcloth; the make and
weight specially fit 1t for
ladies' dresses.
